Greetings to all concerned. This is Al Hofmeister wanting to express gratitude and a healing update. I’m coming along fairly well which means slowly. Bones and integrated hardware meld and heal at a tedious rate even though mind and muscle are ready for challenge. I’m encouraged and motivated by family, friends, and the health care team working with me.

From the time of my accident, so many people have come forth to support Mary and myself. The kindness we received ranges from countless well wishes, gifts of treats and boredom fighters, and offerings of physical self. Some gestures are from those I’ve never met. Many have gifted through RMO. It’s hard to identify everyone and we don’t want to exclude anyone from our immense gratitude. These offerings help ease our state of mind, highten our spirits and aid in our comfort through this time. Mary and I appreciate this overwhelming mountain culture support with a big Thank You!
